  • Black Ops level set in this was good

  • Lol I remember getting this the first time I tried upgrading to Win 10, pretty much the first day it was released. I just wanted to escape Win 8 hell hole and then... Something happened.

  • Bitler

  • No amount of fluff is unreasonable

  • Okay grandpa let's get you to bed

  • Yeah Infinity War is probably my favourite in the turn your brain off genre of movies. It's absolute peak, a culmination of everything that happened in the decade before.

    The entire MCU was an absolute phenomenon and they executed it so damn well till the end of Thanos. I kinda miss the social aspect about talking with everyone about it. I know people got superhero fatigue because of it which never truly recovered but man it was fun.

  • You can get the browser version. But as per OP StatCounter says this

    Statcounter is a web analytics service. Our tracking code is installed on more than 1.5 million sites globally.

    I am assuming these are some extra js files or external scripts that the website will try to load, it won't be part of the native website itself. Adblocker will completely prevent those file or websites from loading in the first place.

    My initial point might not be quite right though, in the sense of Linux might be higher by pure numbers but not by percentage. The sheer number of people using Windows, even if a small portion use adblocker could outnumber the Linux users.

  • Also someone who uses Linux is more likely to use adblock and telemetry blocking features. The actual count is definitely slightly higher.

  • It's this meme, backpack hanging on for dear life by a strap. Should've reduced the size of whatever they superimposed tbh, covers the entire subject

  • Bro's crying but secretly wants their job

  • I really want to see an LLM vs LLM chess match. It'll be messy as hell.

  • Unironically the "Men will do X besides going to therapy" meme

  • Just going to preface this by saying I'm not a security expert.

    Phones have 2 encryptions states BFU (Before First Unlock) and AFU (After First Unlock). Self-explantory I think; when you login to your phone after putting in your password the first time, your phone will go into AFU state.

    In BFU, almost everything is encrypted. In AFU if you dump the same data you will basically get a lot more information because some of the data is now decrypted. That's basically why you can access notifications, change settings around from your lock screen when your phone has been unlocked once but not the first time after reboot.

    As for why PIN -- I'm not American but apparently in US you can be compelled by law to unlock your phone via fingerprint but law enforcement cannot force you to enter a PIN. More contributing factors: theoretically you can spoof biometrics more easily (I mean, people leave fingerprints everywhere), and one last thing is as a convenience factor it will help you to not forget your PIN (also why your phone will ask to re-enter your PIN every now and then)

  • The pin part is for security, your device is encrypted on first boot until you put in your pin. If someone attempts to get in your phone even via connecting your phone to a PC they can't because your phone is encrypted.

  • Dude's having an interesting life trajectory

  • Lemmy has like 0 discussion about anything not technical or not related to American politics so have to peruse reddit now and then

  • A company with fuck off amount of legal power?

  • It's being used to decipher and translate historic languages because of excellent pattern recognition
